[theme music playing]
[narrator] Then.
[The Rock] If you smell…
[narrator] Now.
[Lemmy] The King of Kings. [John Cena] You can't see me.
Forever.
Together.
[man] Motivated by the road to greatness.
Show the haters he was born to take this.
Every roadblock, he was born to break it.
[epic music playing]
Tonight, a champion faces threats from all directions.
[Vic] Triple Threat Match for the NXT title.
Dolph Ziggler from Monday Night Raw is in NXT.
[man] Will raw talent and a burning desire
be enough to steal the show in the NXT Championship?
[upbeat music playing]
Can the leader fight to survive and rise to glory for a third time?
Or will a champion break these doubters to reach new heights of greatness?
Tonight NXT 2.0 breaks through.
["Twisted Generation" playing]
[Vic] A Roadblock is up. Who has what it takes to go through it?
-Welcome to NXT. -[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following is a semi-final match
in the women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team classic.
Introducing the team of Raquel Gonzalez and Cora Jade.
[Vic] Wade, this duo continues to grow week by week,
will they have their name etched on the Women's Dusty Cup?
[Wade Barrett] Yes, absolutely.
A real shaky start for Cora Jade and Raquel Gonzalez,
but over time they have learned to respect each other, trust each other.
I actually put up a poll on Twitter as we take a look on the Toxic lounge.
They've been studying every match so far.
They have picked Jade and Gonzalez to win the entire tournament.
Let me ask you this. When does Twitter ever get it wrong?
[Vic] Yes. Most of the time, but rumor has it,
speaking of the new, I guess, waiters in the Toxic lounge,
actually bodyguards to keep you out of the Toxic lounge.
[Wade] Question is where on earth
do you get your nonsense information, Vic Joseph?
[Vic] The real question is,
do you believe there's more wheels or doors on earth
as we start this semi-final matchup.
[Wade] What?
[audience chatters]
[Vic] Who will be the first team to make it to the Women's Dusty Cup finals?
Both semi-final matches are tonight,
and look, Wade, take a look at the first superstars in this matchup.
Gonzalez and Kai, obviously no strangers to one another.
[Wade] No strangers whatsoever.
Listen, I had to face friends numerous times during my career.
People I'd previously tagged with, people I've been in factions with.
Anytime I stepped in the ring with the likes of a Sheamus
or Drew or Mike, or my partners from Nexus,
I knew exactly what they were gonna do in the match.
I also knew I wanted to beat them more than anyone else because…
[Vic] Wait a minute. [shushing]
[whispering] Pin her. Tag was made. Pin her.
Gonzales is tagged in.
Go for it, go for it.
-[normal voice] Oh. -[Wade] Suckered in.
[Vic] Woke up certainly is, you know, you bring up a lot of great points
having to face former partners, I'm sure that cut you to the core, but…
[Wade] Oh, real slick there. Real quick to the core.
[Vic] Yes, maybe Twitter will catch that one,
but Gonzalez and Kai,
they made history by winning this tournament last year.
[Wade] They were an incredible duo together,
they went on and eventually captured the NXT Women's Tag Championships,
the first-ever winners of that, but like all great things,
it had to come to an end and it's been sour ever since.
[Vic] Into the cover.
Awkward landing for Choo, able to kick out.
Look, for those who win tonight, who overcome the Roadblock,
the path becomes clear to NXT Stand & Deliver.
Ordering drinks?
[Wade] Champagne too, I got to get up there.
[Vic] As we're talking about the path clear for one of these two teams,
when it comes to possibly making it to Dallas, Wrestle Mania Saturday.
[Wade] Oh, man, nothing bigger than that.
Of course, everybody wants to be hitting top gear right now,
and the industry, Raw and Smack Down, looking to get their names
up in lights at WrestleMania, of course, right here.
[Vic] Into the cover to make it to the finals.
And Choo able to kick out.
[Wade] In NXT looking to get to the biggest platform in NXT history,
that's NXT's Stand & Deliver Wrestle Mania weekend.
[Vic] Tag is made, Dakota Kai is now legal,
and now Kai and Choo putting in some work together.
They surprised you last week in there, Wade.
[Wade] Yeah, I gotta be honest with you,
I cannot believe what a duo Kai and Choo have formed here.
They can't hold a conversation together.
[Vic] To the finals, is it Kai and Choo? Jade continues to fight.
[Wade] Listen, they can't hold a conversation together,
they beat my picks Indi and Persia…
-[Vic] Wait a minute. -[Wade] …in the first round.
[Vic] It's only Mandy Rose, where did…
[Wade] I'm talking about Dakota Kai and Wendy Choo here.
They have chemistry, they have cohesion.
Somehow, without verbally communicating, they form a formidable team here.
[Vic] Into another cover to make it to finals and another kick-out.
We talk about Stand & Deliver on the horizon,
making it to finals here tonight.
Did you get a sense that nerves running all-time high in the locker room areas.
Kai to another cover, and another near-fall.
[Wade] A 100% nerves are through the roof right now in the entire industry.
Not only is this the opportunity for Kai, Choo, Gonzalez, and Jade
to get to the final of the Dusty Cup and ultimately get that opportunity,
to be that top six in the Tag Team Championships,
but, of course, everybody wants to be healthy
and be firing on all cylinders in order to get on that card
at NXT Stand & Deliver.
Nerves are frayed right now.
[Vic] Huge main event still to come tonight
for the NXT Championship.
We talk about the Women's Dusty Cup tournament,
as you mentioned, the winner gets their guaranteed opportunity
against Toxic Attraction.
The Creed Brothers who won the Men's Dusty Cup,
they get their opportunity tonight
live on NXT Roadblock for the NXT Tag Team titles.
[Wade] What an explosive matchup that will be, cannot wait for that one.
That has been weeks into months to make at this point.
-[referee] Tag. -[Vic] Another tag was made.
Quick tags right now by Choo and by Kai
as they are clicking on all cylinders once again.
[Wade] So well as a team.
They have an almost telepathic understanding of each other.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, cover. Is it enough?
Another near fall, but how much more does Cora Jade have?
[Wade] Cora Jade getting beat down in the worst way,
but write her off at your peril as we have seen in the past.
Who can forget the women's War Games matchup,
she's got beating, she was written off,
and she came on to win the matchup for her team.
[Vic] I hate to say you brought up a good point but you bring up a good point.
[Wade] I make a lot of them, Vic. You should start listening.
[Vic] Choo in control of this matchup, and again, we've talked about
how important this matchup is along with later tonight.
Two semi-final matchups, the finals of the Women's Dusty Cup,
Wade, will be set by the end of tonight here at NXT Roadblock.
[Wade] Such an exciting time of the year, but hats off to Wendy Choo right now,
she has some real technical skills and she's showing them off.
Don't be blinded by the pajamas, the slippers and all the nonsense.
-She can go in there. [Vic] She's growing up, so to speak.
[Wade] Well, I told you, I don't approve of necessarily the outfit,
the falling asleep at random intervals. I'm not quite sure about that,
the sipping on a Slurpee on the way to the ring,
but she can move and she can get results as she has shown.
[Vic] Nothing wrong with a Slurpee.
As Cora Jade… Look at Choo. Inside cradle, everyone's shoulders down.
Round and round again, now it's Wendy Choo on top, Jade on top.
Referee's in a great position as around and round they go.
Both superstars, now it's Choo.
Jade down and almost a half-second away from making to the finals.
It was Choo and, oh, Dakota Kai.
[Wade] It was inventive, I haven't seen that before, but it's highly effective.
Look, Cora Jade is in a mess right now.
-[Vic] Speaking of being highly effective. -[Wade] Getting worse.
[Vic] Choo laying it on all on the line,
and look, Wendy Choo realizes how important this match is.
[Wade] This is breaking down now.
[Vic] Dakota Kai almost talking to herself. Uh-oh.
-[inaudible]. -Shut up.
[inaudible].
[Vic] No love lost between these two.
-[Wade] Dakota Kai… -[Vic] Whoa!
[Wade] Wait a second.
[Vic] There's Dolin and Jayne.
Oh, no, the referee is distracted. The referee did not see…
Mandy Rose all smiles, the referee didn't see what happened.
How does this change the complexion of the women's semi-final Dusty Cup match?
[Vic] We're back live at NXT Roadblock,
this is the semi-final of the Women's Dusty Cup.
Unbelievable, I'm speechless almost.
An unbelievable scene before the commercial break.
We've finally solved the mystery,
where was Dolin and Jayne of Toxic Attraction?
They came out of nowhere, blindsided Raquel Gonzalez.
The referee did not see what happened on the outside.
WWE medical came to the ringside and checked on Gonzalez.
No, I'm doing it, I'm doing it.
-[referee] You don't have to. -I'm doing it.
I'm gonna finish this. I'm doing it.
[Vic] A cover and a kick out by Kai.
Medical cleared Raquel Gonzalez,
but there is no way, Wade, Gonzalez is 100%.
[Wade] She needs an actual…
[Vic] Whoa, shoulders down, and a kick out.
[Wade] She needs an X-ray and MRI.
You heard her, "I'm gonna finish this." She can't even stand up right now.
Looking over at Raquel Gonzalez in the corner, can't get to the apron.
Let me tell you this, Cora Jade has been in this match for 95% of it.
[Vic] Tag.
[Wade] She needs to tag out, but Raquel Gonzalez is nowhere to be seen,
trying to hold the tag rope, can't pick herself up.
[Vic] Jade was looking over and know Gonzalez isn't on her feet.
You talked about the moxie of Cora Jade at War Games.
She's gonna have to stand and deliver for her team here tonight.
[Wade] She's flying solo right now.
It's tough enough in the Dusty Cup at the best of times,
but hats off to Cora Jade giving it a go.
Right now, Raquel Gonzalez is as good as toast.
[Vic] We always talk about Cora Jade and her teammate, Raquel Gonzalez.
Jade certainly is going to earn her stripes here tonight,
if they're gonna make it to the finals.
-[Wade] It'd be an absolutely miracle. -[Vic] Cover.
This would be an upset, and a kick-out by Choo.
[audience chanting] "Let's go, Cora."
[Vic] You can hear the NXT universe trying to will Cora Jade on in this matchup.
[Wade] I just don't think it's going to be enough.
[Vic] Choo, now, trying to focus in, and plants Jade.
This really, to your point again, Wade, has turned into a two-on-one match.
[Wade] Let's face it.
Toxic Attraction turned up armed and dangerous with that Billy Club,
took out Raquel Gonzalez.
Smartest thing they could have done.
[Vic] Cover by Kai to advance to the finals,
and somehow, some way, Jade continues to fight.
As we take a look back, look at Wendy Choo, boom,
showcasing her own strength in this matchup.
Again, Choo and Kai have really worked together as a team,
as Gonzalez finally back to her feet.
[Wade] Well, this is your chance, Cora Jade, to make the tag.
I question what value Raquel Gonzalez will have, should she get into the match?
[Vic] We're about to find out, as Gonzalez tags herself in.
Gonzalez, now, you can see the effects,
she's on one leg after what Toxic Attraction
did to her on the outside.
-[Wade] Let me tell you, those… -[Vic] With one leg.
Ooh! Powerslam.
Is it enough? Kai kicks out. -[Wade] Raquel Gonzalez gutting it out.
You have to question ahead of this, if she is successful for her team now,
what use will she be in a final of the Dusty Cup with one leg?
[Vic] Oh, nice kick by Kai.
Gonzalez staggering on one leg and all, as Dakota Kai, up and over.
[Wade] Such a technician is Dakota Kai.
Firing on instincts,
who knows what is going through the mind of Dakota Kai right now.
[Vic] I'm sure whoever she's talking to
would love to put an end to this run for Raquel Gonzalez,
in this year's Women's Dusty… huh?
-[Wade] Raquel Gonzalez. -[screams]
-[Vic] Whoa… Dakota… -[Wade] Looks like she's seen a ghost.
[Vic] It looks like she's conflicted.
Well, Dakota Kai right in took too much time, she gonna…
-[Wade] Oh, the knee gave out. -[Vic] Oh, the leg gave out.
Raquel Gonzalez got some of it, didn't get all of it,
as you can see Kai first to her feet.
Now, Dakota Kai thinking clearly, eyes zoomed on Gonzalez.
[Wade] Gonzalez is a sitting duck right now.
[Vic] Choo is now legal. Wendy Choo.
[Wade] We've seen this before.
[Vic] Another quick tag was made.
Kai is now legal.
Where's Cora Jade? Cora Jade's been isolated.
Double stomp off the top. Into the cover.
Dakota Kai and Wendy Choo headed to the finals.
["Kombat" playing]
[Alicia] Here are your winners, the team of Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai!
[Wade] The favorites eliminated once again.
Twitter got it wrong, can you believe it?
[Vic] Choo and Kai get through a Roadblock tonight,
but you have to thank Toxic Attraction.
This obvious turning point of the matchup.
We wondered where Jayne and Dolin were, they made their presence felt.
The referee did not see this blindsided attack
by Gigi Dolin, who went right to work on the right knee.
Here, you see the knee, the leg gave out.
Raquel Gonzalez did everything she could to keep her team in this matchup,
but in the end, it would be Dakota Kai
getting a taste of retribution to her former teammate,
as she and Wendy Choo have gone against all the odds,
they have made it to the finals.
Two women I did not think would make it this far in the Women's Dusty Cup have.
Now, Dakota Kai and Wendy Choo are one win away from etching their name
on the Women's Dusty Cup and guaranteeing themselves
an NXT Women's Tag Team title opportunity.
Tonight, I become a three-time NXT Champion.
That is a legacy that I am very, very proud of.
But this one feels a little bit different, and I don't know why that is.
Maybe it's Dolph's attempt to tear down the brand
that I've given my heart and soul to.
Maybe it's a newfound respect that I have for Bron Breakker,
over these last few months.
I can't quite put my finger on it.
To me, this match means more than the NXT title.
That's something I never thought I'd hear myself say aloud.
Because for so long, that NXT title has been my life.
But a win tonight not only means I'm the NXT Champion, no, no, no,
it means I walk into the biggest stage of them all,
Stand & Deliver, as the main event.
That's something I've done before, and it is a ghost that I continue to chase
because it is a feeling that I cannot describe.
So tonight, Dolph Ziggler and Bron Breakker,
they can fight all they want over who's 2A and who's 2B,
but never before has there been this big of a gap
between number one and number two!
You're looking at number one, me, Tommaso Ciampa,
the main event, your soon-to-be three-time NXT Champion!
[audience cheering]
[upbeat music playing]
Wow, Tommaso Ciampa pumped up, primed and ready for tonight's main event,
but here's the problem, so are his opponents this evening.
Very soon we are gonna find out
who will carry the NXT Championship into Stand & Deliver.
Wade, for our main event tonight,
but speaking of NXT, Stand & Deliver WrestleMania Saturday.
You do not wanna miss being a part of history.
The biggest stage this brand has ever had. Tickets go on sale this Friday.
You wanna mark your calendars,
but also wanting to make her presence felt at Stand & Deliver, Tiffany Stratton,
as she is set for singles competition here tonight.
-She's gonna go… -[Wade] Is that Sarray?
-Sarray's starring at her. -[Wade] That might be Sarray.
Hold on, I'm being told our cameras are catching up with something going on
in the backstage area.
What the…
[referee 1] Stay down, guys. Stay down.
[female referee] Don't move, okay?
[indistinct chatter]
Who did this? Who did this? Who did it?
[indistinct chatter]
[referee 2] Hey, relax. Relax.
-Damn it. -[female referee] Don't move.
[Vic] We're back on NXT. Tonight has been absolute chaos.
There, you see the Creed Brothers,
who were just attacked by someone in the parking lot.
You have to wonder their status for tonight
and the championship match.
Now, Gonzalez and Jade, your heart just breaks for that duo,
who had their Dusty Cup opportunity stolen from them.
[Wade] Roadblock already put in the path
of the Creed Brothers and Raquel Gonzalez this evening.
Whatever next?
-["Daddy's Little Rich Girl" playing] -[bell rings]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing Tiffany Stratton.
♪ Ooh, daddy's little rich girl ♪
♪ She walks around like a movie star ♪
♪ She thinks she's cool like she's on TV ♪
♪ Downtown with her credit card ♪
♪ No limit to her spending spree ♪
♪ There's nothing much Going round in her head ♪
[Vic] When I think of Tiffany Stratton and everything that has gone on tonight,
wonder how Stratton feels about Wendy Choo's success
-to the finals of the women's dusty. -[Wade groans] Wendy lost,
Stratton has washed her hands of that credit card thief Wendy Choo.
She might be in the finals of the Women's Dusty Cup,
-but believe me… -[bell ringing]
…Stratton takes an incredibly dim view of her.
Stratton, she's a smart cookie, focused on her own career,
dealing with what's up ahead, and leaving Choo in the rear view mirror.
[Vic] She just showed her new nails off to Fallon Henley.
Fallon Henley, really help others in the locker room.
Nobody has bad thing to say about her.
[Wade] Oh, come on, are you talking about her
taking photos for Brooks Jensen's dating profile?
[Vic] That is the only reason, yes.
[Wade] That is truly pathetic from Brooks Jensen.
Dating profiles will not help him
if he freezes every time a woman comes anywhere near him.
He's virgin and ridiculous.
[Vic] Right now, Stratton in control of this matchup, showcasing her strength.
Henley, nice job, and, ooh, nice dropkick, massive dropkick from Henley.
Speaking of massive, how about the news today?
WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
accepting Kevin Owens' invitation for WrestleMania Saturday.
[Wade] Oh, hell yes. Listen, last time I was in Dallas,
I ate myself a Stone Cold Stunner, and it tasted horrible.
Austin says he has one last can of whoop left [inaudible] KO right now.
[Vic] As we just mentioned too,
NXT Stand & Deliver on WrestleMania Saturday, April the 2nd.
Tickets on sale… Cover by Stratton, and a kick out.
Tickets on sale this Friday,
and look, Tiffany Stratton wants to be part of Stand & Deliver.
She's got all the physical gifts to be successful.
[Wade] Of course, she has. Team USA gymnast,
demon in the gym, pumping iron,
core strength, balance, cardio, you name it, she's is a 10.
I've got to tell you, I've thought about it, shopping carts.
[Vic] What?
[Wade] More wheels than doors on planet Earth, thanks to shopping carts.
That was the question you asked a couple of segments ago.
[Vic] You've been thinking about that for 25 minutes?
[Wade] Yeah, and I cracked this, thanks to shopping carts, more wheels.
Figured it out.
[Vic] I'll get back into the matchup as Stratton just got chopped
and she's gonna feel that for weeks
as Henley starting to fire back in this matchup.
For Fallon Henley could really level up, so to speak, with a victory here tonight.
Look at the combination offense. Boom, what a clothesline.
[Wade] Daddy's little girl would not be happy
with Fallon Henley right now,
but Fallon Henley trying to make a name for herself.
[Vic] If Stratton wasn't worried about nails and hair and wardrobes,
maybe she'd be a little bit more focused on the matchup here tonight.
[Wade] Is that why you're so… Let me get this right.
Stratton is worrying about Sarray and her wardrobe, trying to help her out.
-[Vic] Oh! -Oh!
[Wade] Fallon Henley needs help after that one.
When Fallon Henley helps people you think it's a good thing.
When Stratton helps people you think it's a bad thing.
You need to get your story straight.
[Vic] Take another look at the strength of Tiffany Stratton.
No, I think it's great, but, hey, what the…
This night couldn't get… What is…
Oh! What?
Sarray? Wait a minute.
This matchup continuing.
Henley into the center of the ring, hook to the leg.
-Two! Three! -That's an upset.
[bell rings]
-["Saddle Up" playing] -[Vic] Wow.
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Fallon Henley.
[Wade] It wasn't an upset, it was a cheap shot from Sarray.
Blindside attack on poor Tiffany Stratton, and Fallon Henley was there to capitalize
and drive her knee into the jaw of Tiffany Stratton.
It's a scandal.
[Vic] If Stratton didn't focus on the heirloom of Sarray,
maybe she'd have been focused tonight 'cause someone wouldn't be out to get her.
[Wade] We need some better security around the match, that's what I would say.
[Vic] Which is asked, if it doesn't work for you, it's not right.
Take another look. Sarray, boom.
Coming in out of nowhere, and then Fallon, bam.
[Wade] A boot to the back of the neck from Sarray.
[Vic] It was a knee in the face
that silenced Tiffany Stratton here tonight.
[bell ringing]
[Wade] That distraction was all it took.
-[Vic] Look who's out here celebrating. -[Wade] Probably thinks he got lucky now.
Probably thinks he's going on a hot date.
[Vic] Stratton and daddy are not going to be happy after this.
[music playing]
[Andre Chase] Welcome to Andre Chase University.
A place of higher learning.
I'm Andre Chase, and at Chase U, our goal is to perform like we practice.
Case in point, my entrance from last week.
When we rehearsed, it was smooth sailing,
but when it was go time, I mean, look at this cluster [bleep].
Kevin, you're just standing there.
Jared, you're over there looking like a dumbass.
I knew I should have put Megan in.
That piss poor entrance knocked me off my game and cost me the W.
You guys didn't just drop the ball, you let the whole team down,
but in this classroom, we turn negatives into positives.
The one beacon of light last week was Bodhi Hayward.
He was a man. He took one for the team.
Anything for you, Mr. Chase.
Mr. Chase, Bodhi's eye's looking pretty bad.
Don't you think he should get it checked out?
I'm sorry, Jimmy, but when did you graduate and become a [bleep] doctor?
Bodhi's fine. How many fingers am I holding up?
One, Mr. Chase.
How about you, Jimmy? How many fingers am I holding up?
You don't come in my classroom and question me,
you disrespectful [bleep] piece of shit.
I'll beat the ever-living shit out of you.
Any further questions?
[Vic] Jimmy might got expelled after what we witnessed,
but when we come back, the North American Champion,
Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams,
they're back in the barbershop next on NXT.

-That's your money, bro. -Hey. Never mind all that.
Let's talk about how Roderick Strong shot, he missed.
Cameron Grimes shot, his jumper broke.
Poor Skeet Dunne shoots worse than Westbrook.
Oh, bro. Come on, why Westbrook, bro?
Hey, man, they all took their chance at the A Champ, they all came up short.
-That's true. -I don't keep score, I keep scoring.
Listen, it ain't easy being the A Champion, man.
It ain't easy trying to make all these suckers relevant.
It's not. You know what I came up with, y'all?
-Let's talk about it. -The golden rules.
Yes.
Because I got the gold, I make the rules.
Shooters shoot. Y'all know Melo don't miss. Right?
That boy toeing up like Steph from the logo.
Since I got here in NXT,
I've been climbing rung by rung by rung by rung, straight to the top,
so let's go ahead and let's run it back in the same exact match
that this title was introduced in at Stand & Deliver.
A Ladder Match.
Whoo!
-The boys are going to Dallas. -We're going to Dallas, bro.
-We're going to Dallas. -Wait, but who's your opponent?
Opponent, what do you mean, like one?

-What are you thinking, then, three? -Three, that's it?
I think you could do 10.
-What? -Hey.
Dash, bro, there's not even 10 people on the level below me.
Come on, now.
-What are you thinking, Trick? -Four.
-Okay. -We make them all qualify.
-Oh! -That's it, bro. That's perfect.
Hey, but all jokes aside. Melo, you great.
Numbers don't lie. Melo don't miss.
We checked the stats and the analytics,
but I don't why it got to be a Ladder Match, man.
Ladders are dangerous, people get hurt. It's crazy out there.
-Trick Williams is scared of heights. -Trick, man, you need to calm down, bro.
You know why we're doing this? Because I can. Okay!
Okay.
The mission at Stand & Deliver is to do two things.
Stand at the top victorious with my championship
and deliver the performance of a lifetime
and prove that I am the greatest North American Champion to ever live.
The A Champ don't ever miss.
-[man 1] Never ever. -Never.

Now, tonight's guest says she wants to talk about it.
Please welcome Nikkita Lyons.
[audience cheering]
Okay. All right. Settle down. Settle down.
So, I heard that your journey was pretty amazing.
Your dad was a rockstar and your mom was a groupie.
Was she following your dad around or was she everybody's groupie?
[audience yelling]
[chuckles]
My mom is a free spirit.
She taught me to accept people for who they are
and not be so judgmental towards everyone.
You may have everyone else here convinced,
but I'm not buying it, now you think you're all hot
because you trend every time you're on NXT.
[chuckles] You know exactly why you're trending worldwide.
-I really appreciate… -I wasn't done talking.
Look who's show you're on, sweetie.
Please, get your finger out of my face.
[audience] Ooh…
What are you and those butt implants gonna do about it?
[audience] Ooh!

You know what? Hold up. Hold up.
That's all the time that we have. Play my music.
[indistinct chatters]
A lot to unpack from this week's episode of Lashing Out,
but with me now is Imperium, and I have to ask,
earlier tonight the Creed Brothers were attacked
and you two might be considered prime suspects.
McKenzie, we would never taint the honor of this great sport
by resorting to such underhanded tactics.
I mean, it is a great shame
that the Creed Brothers got attacked tonight
before we actually got our hands on them.
Listen, the Creed Brothers can talk about their heritage
and their pedigree all they want,
that didn't protect them from getting attacked in the parking lot, did it?
Guess they weren't ready for imperium, after all, were they? [chuckles]
Hey.
[audience cheering]
We know what you all fools is out here trying to do,
it ain't going to work this time.
Look, if the Creeds can't go,
you best believe we're ready to take that spot.
Then we'll beat you tonight
and take back our NXT Tag Team Championships,
when the Creeds are ready,
we'll give them the opportunity that y'all denied them.

Introducing first, LA Knight.
[Vic] LA Knight wants to hurdle this Roadblock on his way to Dallas.
You can hear the NXT universe. Who will be the last man standing?
LA Knight, looking for biggest win of his career.
[audience cheering]
-First win of your career! Give me some! -Whoo!
-Yeah. -Here we go!
Thanks, guys. Do you know what happened to the Creed Brothers?
Do you know who did that?
Parking lot.
Hey, it was y'all, wasn't it? Y'all were the ones that attacked the Creed Brothers.
-I know it. -Yes, it was.
What's this clown talking about?
-Which one? -Man.
With all due respect, boys, y'all turn that parking lot out there
into the most dangerous place on earth, it ain't happening again to us.
[speaking Spanish]
When we attack, everyone knows about it.
Wait a minute.
Didn't the Creed Brothers beat y'all in the first round of the Dusty Cup?
Look, I know it was your plan. I've been studying on you.
-I know your resume. -Whoa.
Don't go accusing me because you can't get laid.
[laughter]
-I'm working on it. -Working on it.
-Yeah, you keep working on it. [laughs] -I will.
He's trying his best, guys. He's trying his best, man.
You're trying your best. Don't worry about it, man.
-Did you guys do it? -No, I'm still working on it.
She ain't talking about that, man. What the hell?
No, we didn't do that. You know us.
We wouldn't attack the Creed Brothers like that. We're the good guys.
[Wade] We got a real rogue's gallery of suspects in NXT.
The question is, who done it? Who attacked the Creeds?
["Eye On The Prize" playing]
[Alicia] Making his way to the ring, Grayson Waller.
[Vic] Grayson Waller said he was going to come out alone…
-Oh, there goes LA Knight! -[bell ringing]
Steamrolling Waller. Knight wasting no time.
Again, one of these two superstars will have to incapacitate their opponent
so they can't answer the count of 10.
[audience chants] "LA Knight."
Back up. Back up.
[Vic] No doubt who the NXT universe wants to see
as the Last Man Standing here tonight.
[Wade] Listen, Vic, you said it before the break
that LA Knight wanted to leapfrog this final Roadblock.
He doesn't wanna leapfrog any Roadblock.
He wants to punch this Roadblock's teeth down his throat.
[Vic] There you see some of the rules in this matchup.
There are no rules. Everything is legal.
The referee there just to… Oh, count to 10.
You know, Wade, what internally pushes two superstars
to wanna compete in this sort of matchup?
[Wade] You've basically got to be ready to commit felonies against your opponent
and have those felonies committed back against you.
[Vic] Ooh!
[Wade] My absolute worst kind of match to compete in [inaudible]
burning hatred for someone to put your own career,
your own health at risk like this.
[Vic] Referee is starting to count. You saw Waller start to move,
so LA Knight helping Waller stay down a little bit.
Non-stop action as soon as this matchup began.
I mean, we know the history between these two superstars.
I talked about hurdling a Roadblock.
Should the winner of this match be looking to go to that proverbial next level?
[Wade] 100% in my book.
Listen, you survive a match like this, you're successful in a match like this,
and for my money, NXT management needs to seriously look
at the winner for a championship matchup.
[audience chanting]
I don't know what championship that would be,
but successful endeavor are rewarded here in NXT.
[audience cheering]
What a partisan crowd we have here tonight.
100% behind The Megastar.
Two.
-[Vic] There is the referee. -Three.
[Vic] Again, who can keep the other down for the count of 10?
Knight just measuring now Waller.
LA Knight said he wants to shut the mouth
of Grayson Waller here tonight at Roadblock.
Nice counter though by Waller.
[Wade] The whole world wants LA Knight to shut Grayson Waller's trap.
[referee] One.
[Vic] Waller now weathering that early storm.
Pinpoint knee. Take another look.
Waller one step ahead, boom, of LA Knight.
[Wade] I've said it time and time again, I cannot stand Grayson Waller.
[audience chanting] "Waller sucks."
[Vic] The NXT universe can't stand him, either.
[Wade] Looks like they all agree with me, but hats off to the man.
In ring, he is brilliant.
That's what makes me dislike him even more than I should have.
[Vic] Waller, is there a false confidence in the eyes of Grayson Waller?
[Wade] Talk about false confidence,
there is no falseness about this confidence.
He genuinely believes that he's better than everyone, including LA Knight.
The confidence is there. Let's face it, he's deluded.
He's completely oblivious to the fact that LA Knight is going to give him
an ass whooping of a lifetime.
[Vic] It was Grayson Waller who earlier tonight told…
Earlier today, I should say, told Sanga to stay away, stay in the back.
As Waller could be looking for that knockout blow early on.
Again, the referee now will start his count.
One, two…
-[Vic] If Knight can't get to his feet… -…three.
[Vic] …before the count of 10
because of this from Waller, boom, Grayson Waller would become the winner.
If Grayson Waller wins, we'll never hear the end of it.
[Wade] You know that the guy loves to run his mouth,
he loves to boast, he loves to gloat, and stick it down people's throats.
This would be the biggest win of his entire career
if he can pull it off. That's a big if.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Going for… Ooh!
BFT, but Waller, one step ahead.
When I asked you about confidence, Waller goes around and tells anyone
he should be in the main event of NXT Stand & Deliver.
[Wade] Believes every word. He thinks he should be the main event of NXT,
he should be the main event of Smack Down, Raw.
He thinks he should be in the main event of WrestleMania.
This guy is convinced that he is Bron Breakker,
The Rock, Brock Lesnar, and Roman Reigns!
[Vic] Whoa! -[Wade laughs]
[audience cheering]
[Wade] Listen, part of me admires the belief
that Grayson Waller has for himself.
He is so far removed from reality in his own belief,
as we take another look of the supreme athleticism
-that drive LA Knight. -[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa. BFT.
The referee now is going to start his count…
-One. -[Vic] …on Waller.
That could be the knockout blow from The Megastar.
-Three. -[Wade] It's a knockout indeed.
-Grayson Waller barely stirring. -[audience] Four.
-Five. -LA Knight!
-Six. -LA Knight!
-[Vic] NXT universe helping him. -Seven.
[audience] LA Knight!
[Vic] Presence of mind. Waller got back to his feet some way, somehow.
[Wade] Grayson slithering out, landing on his feet on the outside,
using the ropes for some leverage there,
but straight back into the fight is Grayson Waller.
[Vic] Knight said he would go viral this evening.
He might go viral because he can't answer the count of 10.
That if… Oh, again, everything is legal.
Waller-Knight going at it. Who will be the last man standing?
[Vic] We're back live. This is a Last Man Standing Match.
It was Grayson Waller with evil intentions in his eyes
as these two have been beating each other throughout the commercial break.
-They're taking things to new heights now. -[Wade] Dropping [indistinct] right now,
they scale the scaffold perilously high up in the arena.
This does not look good for Grayson Waller at all.
-[Vic] No! -[Wade] Oh, no.
[audience cheering]
[Wade] That was a huge drop.
[audience chanting] "LA Knight."
[Vic] When is enough, enough?
The hatred, the pure hatred of these two.
[Wade] I don't like Grayson Waller at all, but I'm concerned right now.
[Vic] What the… Sanga. Where'd he come from?
[Wade] Strongest man in NXT.
-[screams] -[Vic] [inaudible]
[Vic] A one-man wrecking crew.
[Wade] What is it you said it earlier, Sanga's been left in the locker room?
-Waller doesn't want him out? -[Vic] That's what he told us.
-[Wade] The guy's a snake. -[Vic] Oh, my gosh.
[audience booing]
I'm being told right now our own McKenzie Mitchell standing by
with an update on the Creed Brothers. McKenzie?
[McKenzie Mitchell] Hey, guys, just a quick update.
Due to the attack earlier tonight,
the Creed Brothers are not medically cleared to compete
and have been ruled out by our NXT medical team.
However, MSK will be taking the Creed Brothers' place,
so MSK will challenge Imperium for the NXT Tag Team Championships.
Still to come later tonight.
[Wade] What? MSK get a title opportunity tonight?
How on earth is that fair to Imperium?
[Vic] Take a look at what's going on right now.
-[audience cheering] -LA Knight…
-[Wade] Turned the tables on Sanga. -[Vic] So much for your equalizer, Waller.
[Wade] Let's face it.
LA Knight could not have won this match with Sanga out here.
Neutralized.
[audience chanting]
[Vic] Waller talks about being on Survivor.
Well, you're on an island now. Oh!
[Wade] Grayson Waller's worst nightmare. All his grand plans have gone for nothing.
[Vic] Boom!
[Wade] Four months of anger and hatred boiling out of LA Knight before our eyes.
This one goes all the way back to Halloween Havoc.
[Vic] Everything that knight has gone through from the parking lot
to being jumped and blindsided to Halloween Havoc as you mentioned.
[Wade] Nearly got arrested for.
[Vic] LA Knight can win it all out tonight.
Three.
[Vic] You hear the NXT universe?
[Wade] They're in love right now.
[Vic] LA Knight now measuring Waller.
Oh, thumb to the eye.
[Wade] It's all legal, Vic. I hate to say it.
[Vic] It certainly is.
Waller again. Uh-oh.
What goes up goes crashing down!
Again, you must incapacitate your opponent so they cannot answer the count of 10.
The official right there to start his count.
-Two, three, four. -[audience chanting] "Holy shit."
[Vic] Talk about a rough landing for Grayson Waller.
NXT universe love what they saw.
The official's count is up to seven. Referee continuing to count.
Waller just started to move, and Waller back to his feet just in the nick of time.
[Wade] I'm asking you if that didn't do it,
what the hell is going to keep Grayson Waller down for the 10?
[audience chanting]
What's that?
[audience] Yes?
[Vic] LA Knight loving every minute of this.
-Take a look, NXT universe on their feet. -Huh?
-[Vic] As close as it gets. -Huh?
[Wade] Grayson Waller has no clue where he's at right now.
Has to be ripe for the pickings.
What?
[referee] Two…
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. -[referee] …three…
-I'm sorry. -For all this time.
I'm sorry.
-[referee] …four… -Please.
[referee] …five…
[Vic] We talked about what was boiling out in LA Knight.
Forget about boiling,
LA Knight right now is going to become unhinged.
Ooh!
At mids majorly Baseball.
LA Knight swinging for the fences.
[Wade] LA Knight could end this whenever he likes.
That might do the job right now.
[Vic] Oh, and for good measure.
[Wade] Let's face it. Sanga's earned this.
[audience cheering]
I'm starting my count, LA.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
I think it's time to get the hell out of the way, Barrett.
[Wade] Tables getting trashed, I ain't stopping him.
[Vic] Grayson Waller barely moving,
but LA Knight wants to put an exclamation point
on the festivities here this evening.
Wait, what's in the hand of Waller?
You gotta be kidding me.
[Wade] You know he's got something up his sleeve.
[Vic] More like something in the pocket
-of his bodyguard. -[referee] Two…
three…
[Vic] We said Waller wanted to go viral.
[referee] …five,
six.
[audience gasping]
[audience chanting] "Holy shit."
[Vic] I can't get over what we just witnessed.
[Wade] What a war of bedlam. They might both be out here.
The referee is starting his count.
-Referee's at four. -…five.
[Vic] Who will be the first one to get to their feet?
-Both superstars starting to move. -…seven…
-[Vic] Referee continuing his count. -…eight…
-[Vic] Look at Waller. -[Wade] Oh, no.
-[referee] …nine… -[Vic] Waller up. Come on.
…10. He's up.
[bell rings]
[audience booing]
["Eye On The Prize" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Grayson Waller.
[Vic] Grayson Waller is the last man standing.
♪ When I pop out They lay low, they know ♪
[Wade] It just makes you sick, doesn't it? Sick to your stomach.
Once again, that snake, that rat,
that coward, Waller, pulls it out of the bag.
♪ Hit the target, accurate bullseye ♪
♪ We the bosses, let me wish you goodbye ♪
♪ In my office I sit back and strategize ♪
[Vic] Let's take a look at some of the action
throughout this incredible matchup here.
I mean, this we thought was literally the end.
[Wade] Let's face it. It should've been if not for Sanga,
the huge monstrous bodyguard of Grayson Waller catching him,
saving the day, keeping him in this matchup.
[Vic] It was LA Knight who had to overcome the bodyguard
and was able to pull out some devastating offense throughout this matchup.
When you talk about devastating,
you talk about views, clicks, likes and retweets.
Grayson Waller, boom, certainly did what he came to do tonight, going viral.
Now looking to go viral with the help of his bodyguard
would be lifted to his tippy toes before the count of 10
and would be the last man standing.
♪ You know where I'm headed My fight my business ♪
♪ My life, I'm menace I dare them to step it ♪
I'm walking into this Triple Threat Match tonight
as the NXT Champion, but as the underdog.
See Ciampa and Ziggler, they have all the experience,
all the accomplishments, all the notoriety.
Me? I'm just a guy who shows up on a daily basis
and busts his ass in the film room, in the weight room,
in the practice ring, because I love this business.
When I think of this championship right here,
I think about the number of days that I've held it.
I think about the guys who have held it before me.
All that pain and hard work that it takes to earn this championship
is what drives me to keep it!
If tonight's my last Roadblock on the way to Stand & Deliver,
then I'm going to run right through it.
["Venom" playing]
[Vic] What a main event still to come here on NXT Roadblock.
[audience cheering]
[indistinct]
[Vic] We are set for the second semifinal matchup of the night.
We're about to find out who's headed to the finals of the Women's Dusty Cup.
["Tokyo Shock" playing]
[bell rings]
[Alicia] The following is a semifinals match
in the Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team classic.
Introducing the team of Kay Lee Ray and Io Shirai.
[Vic] Who will meet Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai?
We find out next.
Who's headed to the finals of the Women's Dusty Cup?
[tranquil music playing]
Mr. D'Angelo, your ziti, buon appetito.
I appreciate it, buddy. Tell Mikey I said hello.
I'm in my cousin Mikey's restaurant getting my usual.
And Mikey, he used to be a silent partner,
and then the craziest thing happened, I mean…
Once this place started making some real money,
the owner decides to get out of the biz.
When I went to go talk to the guy, he says to me…
let's just say he had a change of heart.
Mikey, he's going places, just like me.
I think it's about time NXT runs on my watch.
At Stand & Deliver, my career reaches the top.
WrestleMania weekend is huge.
People come from all 50 states and over 60 countries.
They're all going to witness Tony D, the new Don of NXT.
[chuckles]
[Wade] Sounds like Tony D has something big in store
for NXT Stand & Deliver.
I will be giving him a wide birth that weekend.
["Life of The Party" playing]
[Alicia] Making their way to the ring, Kayden Carter and Kacy Catanzaro.
[Vic] Today's International Women's Day,
throughout Women's History Month this March,
WWE is proud to celebrate our female superstars for making history
and creating iconic moments to inspire the next generation.
In this semifinal match, of course, the winners of the Dusty Cup always…
Wait a minute, is that Enofe and Malik Blade?
What happened to the… oh.
[laughs]
[Wade] That's the original lads taken out. What on earth are Enofe and Blade up to?
They better not be trying anything funny
with Mandy Rose. -[Vic] Oh, what is this?
Look, I mean, how? Those are… Wait a minute.
You couldn't make two hours without Beta Barrett coming out?
-[Wade] "Beta Barrett"? -[Vic] Beta Barrett.
-[Wade] Beta? -[Vic] Beta.
[Wade] Listen, you want to talk about betas,
you are the master of the betas,
the master beta, that's what I'm calling you.
[Vic] We're back to action in this matchup,
as the semi-finals have begun.
Who will be the final team to make it to the finals?
Will it be Kay Lee Ray, Io Shirai, Kacy, or Kayden?
Much like Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai, Kay Lee Ray and Io are making it work.
[Wade] Making it work, by the way, that's your new nickname.
But they're making it work, which doesn't surprise me at all
as both Io and Kay Lee Ray, former champions,
of course, their caliber has been proven.
The really shocking part to me is that Io actually seems to like Kay Lee ray.
I didn't think she was capable of liking anyone other than Kat.
[Vic] Let's be honest, this has been an unpredictable
Women's Dusty Cup Tournament.
[Wade] Oh, man, say that again. Listen, think about it.
[Vic] This has been an unpredictable Women's Dusty Cup tournament.
[Wade] Listen, my pick, Indi and Persia. They went out in the first round.
Cora and Raquel, many people's favorites.
[Vic] Roll-up. Kay Lee Ray now. Wait a minute.
It's Carter, to advance. Kick out.
-[Wade] Eliminated this evening. -[Vic] Oh.
[Wade] Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai are in the final. Who saw that coming?
[Vic] Is it Catanzaro and Carter heading in the final?
Another kick out by Kay Lee Ray.
Reminder, the Men's Dusty Cup winners, the Creed Brothers,
they were not medically cleared to compete.
However, the NXT Tag Team titles will be defended tonight,
Imperium and MSK.
Right now, it is all about the Women's Dusty Cup,
who's headed to the finals?
Who's headed to a guaranteed opportunity at the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships?
And now, Io Shirai, making her way into the ring.
[audience chanting] "Io"
[Vic] Look, when it comes to Kacy and Kayden,
tonight they want to continue to create a shift in NXT.
[Wade] Yes. Indeed. What a pair of athletes they are,
as we're seeing here from Kacy Catanzaro matched,
of course, by the brilliant Io Shirai.
Look, young, scrappy, motivated, they're now experienced too.
Kacy and Kayden couldn't buy a win here 18 months ago,
but now they are legit contenders.
[Vic] Shoulders down, Shirai center of the ring, able to kick out.
[Wade] One of the biggest things I like about Kacy and Kayden is in fact…
[Vic] Shoulders down one more time. It's Shirai now looking for the cover.
[Wade] Every week we see them,
they add something new to their arsenal of offense.
[Vic] To advance to the finals, and Shirai, just kicking out.
Now, all four women, center of the ring.
[audience chanting]
[Vic] Now going right at it.
Who will fill the final slot in the Women's Dusty Cup?
[Wade] I'll be honest with you, we've had some shockers in this tournament so far.
-No matter who wins this matchup. -[Vic] Oh!
[Wade] They're gonna be shocked. They're both two favorite tag teams here.
Whoa.
[Vic] Kayden, Kacy wiping out the field.
[screaming]
[Vic] Is it their moment?
Will it be Kacy and Kayden advancing to the finals?
This is our time!
[Vic] NXT Roadblock is live here tonight.
It is the semi-finals.
The final team to punch their ticket
to the finals of the Women's Dusty Cup is moments away,
as Carter and Catanzaro, taking on Shirai and Kay Lee Ray.
But, you know, huge implications all night.
Wade, who do you think Toxic is actually rooting for
'cause obviously, they were afraid to face Raquel and Cora?
That's why they attacked Raquel Gonzalez to start the night.
[Wade] First of all, Toxic Attraction are afraid of nobody,
but based on what you're saying,
you'd have to say, Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray, both former champions.
Who the hell would ever want to fight those two?
So I guess, by process of eviction, they'd like to take on Kacy and Kayden,
even that, they're a formidable tag team themselves.
[audience chants "make a tag"]
[Vic] NXT universe, rallying both these teams.
Kara makes the tag.
Io Shirai, as we take another look, boom,
devastating DDT as Io Shirai and Catanzaro right now.
Could Kacy channel this energy?
[audience chants] "Kacy."
[Vic] NXT universe trying to will on Catanzaro.
Oh! And look, Catanzaro and Carter, they're the only genuine team,
the only one left in the tournament.
[Wade] There are very few of them in this tournament.
[Vic] There goes Shirai, to advance to the final.
No, and Shirai just kicks out.
[Wade] This is where Kacy and Kayden can separate themselves
from Kay Lee Ray and Io Shirai.
They have that natural in-built chemistry, that tag-team unison,
the telepathic duo that they can be.
Io and Kay Lee Ray haven't gotten come close
to forming that kind of bond thus far.
[Vic] Oh, Carter, now legal.
Shirai did not know it, she certainly does now.
You gotta imagine somewhere,
Zoey Stark is cheering on Shirai and Kay Lee Ray.
[Wade] Never doubt Io Shirai for one second though,
one of the best we have ever seen here in NXT,
of course, the "Genius of the Sky".
[Vic] Looking for that feint kick. Connects.
[Wade] Straight to the mosh of Kayden Carter,
-the spitfire of NXT is down. -[audience chanting] "Io."
[Vic] Shirai is up, looking to fly. Missile drop kick.
-[Wade] Picture perfect. Bullseye. -[Vic] Is that enough to get to the final?
Kara just kicked out.
-Wow. -[Wade] The end looks to be close.
Io Shirai can taste it. Kay Lee Ray, yelling in the corner.
[Vic] Mandy Rose does not seem very impressed up in the Toxic lounges.
Kay Lee Ray will be tagged into the matchup.
[Wade] Kayden Carter fighting for her life.
[Vic] Catanzaro now trying to hit anything that moves,
but she gets caught and is planted by Kay Lee Ray.
[Wade] Face-first.
[Vic] Look at Carter flying through the air to get to the finals.
What a moment this would be for Carter. What a moment this could be for Catanzaro.
Not to be just yet.
[Wade] Just a millisecond away of making the final of the Dusty Cup
was Kayden Carter there.
[audience chanting] "This is awesome."
[Vic] Imagine what's being talked about right now on the Toxic lounge.
[Wade] Yes, don't make me start questioning it.
I'm getting concerned.
I still have not been thanked for my 100 roses from Valentine's Day.
[Vic] Well, right now, we're more worried about which of these teams,
as all four women are down.
Who will advance to the finals
of the Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic?
Wendy Choo, Dakota Kai, earned their spot in the finals earlier tonight.
Who will join them?
[Wade] All four ladies leaving it on the mat.
[Vic] Tag.
[Wade] You sense Carter and Catanzaro have got the momentum.
-Can they make it count? -[Vic] Whoa.
Oh, the veteran, Io Shirai, from the outside.
What a Tag Team match… Uh-oh.
What's on the mind of Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray?
Oh.
Oh, Carter coming in to save the day.
Whoa, nasty landing for Shirai.
And now…
[Wade] Catanzaro and Carter are getting to play the numbers game themselves.
[Vic] Is this the moment? What the hell?
-[Wade] Oh! -[Vic] You gotta be kidding me!
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Into the cover to make it to the finals.
Shirai just saved this match. Oh, my.
Take another look at the human highlight reel, boom, that is Kacy Catanzaro.
[Wade] Something new.
Every single one at the entire arena, on their feet after that spectacle,
but how fortunate for their team, Io Shirai, able to break up that cover.
-[Vic] Oh! -[Wade] Not a moment too soon.
[audience chanting] "Kacy."
[Vic] Catanzaro realizing what just happened, going right at Shirai.
I mean Catanzaro… Oh, she just ran into a super kick from Kay Lee Ray.
[Wade] This match has just done a 180, Vic.
[Vic] 180 in a hurry. Now, hoisted up, [inaudible] Bomb.
Look what Catanzaro has planted, as the Genius of the Sky tags in.
[Wade] This has to be it.
[Vic] Picture perfect. Cover.
-One, two, three. -[Vic] The count.
-Shirai, Kay Lee Ray… -[bell ringing]
-…headed to the finals. -["Tokyo Shock" playing]
[Alicia] Here are your winners, the team of Kay Lee Ray and Io Shirai.
[Wade] Oh, my word. All four ladies, leaving it on the mat this evening,
in pursuit of excellence, in pursuit of the Dusty Cup final.
Here are your victors, these two ladies, off the charts brilliant.
[Vic] Well, questions surrounded both these teams
that are in the finals of the Women's Dusty Cup,
as the finals are set, who will overcome the odds?
Who will etch their name in history?
Who will earn themselves an opportunity
at Toxic Attraction's NXT Women's Tag Team titles?
-[Wade] Oh! -[Vic] Whoa!
-[audience cheering] -[Vic] It's Cora Jade!
[Wade] What the hell is she doing? Get some control up there!
[Vic] Cora Jade, she's taking out her frustrations on Mandy Rose!
-Let them fight! -Get away from me!
Are you kidding me?
[audience cheering]
One, two, three.
[bell rings]
Where have you been?
We had such a good weekend. We went to the beach,
rode in a hot-air balloon, dinner by the water.
-I didn't know Duke was so romantic. -Up to your old tricks, are you?
-I don't know what you're talking about. -You need to get over it.
Me get over it? Do you care that we lost last week?
Of course, I care that we lost last week,
but Duke's done such a good job of taking my mind off things.
You're such a creep.
Don't talk to him like that. I've carried this team.
-I supported you and Dexter's relation… -You what?
I said I supported you and Dexter, your entire relationship.
-I was in your wedding. -No.
-You said you carried this team. -Someone had to.
Oh, that's why I was Tag Team Champion without you?
You and I both know if I was here first,
-I'd be a multi-time champion by now. -Here we go. You're the best.
Last time I checked, you're the one that got pinned last week.
-Maybe if I had a better partner. -We both know who's better.
-Me. -Me.
Ladies, ladies. I love this tension between you, but…
-Don't touch me. -Don't talk to him like that.
-Why don't you just settle this… -Shut up, you're not needed here.
Let's find out who the better woman is once and for all.
-Mm-hmm. -Hmm.
You're gonna need a training partner.
Why wait?
[Vic] Not again. Oh.
[Wade] I don't know who I'm more jealous of out of these.
-[Vic] What? -[Wade] No, no.
I mean, Duke Hudson or Indie Hartwell
because she gets to get redemption next week.
[Vic] What a wild night it's already been.
MSK arrives as spectators have a golden opportunity
here at NXT Roadblock,
as you see Imperium now set to defend their NXT Tag Team titles.
The NXT Tag Team Championship Match, next on NXT.
Welcome back to NXT. I'm now joined by Tiffany Stratton.
Can you please stop talking?
Last week, I tried to do Sarray a favor by helping her with her wardrobe.
I mean, you saw that tacky necklace, right?
She said no to me and no one says no to me.
Next week, I'm going to do more than just break her necklace,
I'm gonna break her face.
[Wade] Wow. Cross Tiffany Stratton at your peril.
Sarray is paying the price next week.

[Alicia] The following contest scheduled for one fall,
is for the NXT Tag Team Championship.
Introducing the challengers, MSK!
[Vic] MSK has a chance to finish a year-long journey.
[Wade] Let's face it, they're sometimes shaman, Riddle,
captured the Raw Tag Team titles last night
alongside Randy Orton in RK-bro.
They've booked their tickets to WrestleMania.
Now MSK have the opportunity to follow in those footsteps.
[Vic] MSK with this opportunity 'cause the Creed Brothers,
not medically cleared after being brutally blindsided by someone earlier tonight.
["Symphony No. 9 in E Minor" playing]
[Alicia] Their opponents, Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel,
they're the NXT Tag Team Champions, Imperium.
[Vic] I cannot wait for NXT Stand & Deliver.
[Wade] Oh, man, you're telling me.
Best show of the year for NXT, everybody wants a part of the action.
What a weekend WrestleMania weekend's going to be.
[Vic] Who will be the NXT Tag Team Champions when we head to Dallas?
Because Imperium came here tonight prepared for the Creed Brothers
and this certainly a Roadblock to overcome.
[Wade] I'll tell you this right now, it's absolute BS
that Imperium has had a last-minute opponent switch here tonight.
Short notice, no time whatsoever to prepare for this.
I've been put in this position in my career as a champion
and it is so hard to overcome.
I really feel for Imperium tonight.
[Vic] You see the NXT universe on their feet
as we are set for the NXT Tag Team titles to be defended.
Look, you bring up a very valid point when it comes to Imperium,
as Nash Carter gonna start things off with Marcel Barthel.
Surely, MSK didn't wake up today thinking that they'll have this golden opportunity
just given to them here tonight at Roadblock.
[Wade] It's interesting you say that
because I've been chewing this over for the past hour or so.
I've been doing a bit of amateur sleuthing.
Let me put this here, MSK show up,
they just happen to have their ring gear with them,
the Creeds are mysteriously attacked and taken out, MSK filled the gap,
get a title opportunity.
It's just smooth, isn't it?
-It's all very convenient for MSK. -[Vic] Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You're talking about two of the most laid-back superstars,
as Carter just catches Barthel, takes him off his feet.
What proof, Barrett? What proof do you have?
-[Wade] Listen. -[Vic] Proof.
[Wade] Literal proof, I don't necessarily have,
I'm putting two and two together here.
Listen, the two suspects, for my money
are the prime beneficiaries in this conspiracy. Who benefits?
In this case, the only beneficiaries of the Creeds' attack have been MSK.
Occam's Razor would say they are guilty as sin.
[Vic] Why not Imperium?
You take out the Creeds, no title defense tonight.
You talk about benefit.
They don't have to defend their championships.
[Wade] I've been listening to imperium when they were interviewed,
they are men of class.
They are here to clean up the industry, purify the ring.
The mat is sacred, they would never stoop so low as to pull a stunt like that.
They're here to restore the honor of this entire industry.
It's about time you gave them a bit of respect.
[Vic] As Lee, right now, just wanting to get into this matchup.
Yes, like we've never seen Imperium cut corners in the past.
This, the first of two championship matches, of course, here tonight.
The NXT title still to come, as Lee makes the tag.
Wes Lee now going to change the complexion.
Look at the speed, the pace certainly increase on Roadblock.
[Wade] You know MSK have been wrapping for the Imperium since…
[Vic] Now they've got a cover, title on the line.
Do we have new champions? Barthel kicks out.
[Wade] They came into tonight with a strategy
on how to dethrone Imperium
and thus far, in this matchup, it's all going to plan for MSK.
Much like that attack on the Creed Brothers
in the parking lot earlier tonight, I would suggest.
[Vic] You're not going to let this go, are you, with no proof?
One thing we can agree on, this is a huge championship flash
as we inch closer to NXT Stand & Deliver.
-Tags made. Aichner now in. -[Wade] Oh, no.
Listen, going into WrestleMania weekend as a champion is huge.
I remember for my own career, it's the only way you can guarantee
to get on the card at Stand & Deliver.
-[Vic] Oh, no. -[Wade] So nice from Fabian Aichner,
someone who doesn't take a slap in the face lightly.
[Vic] That was absolutely nasty.
It was not nice. I don't want to really see it twice.
[Wade] Great precision and you know that Wes Lee is in total agony now.
If he did instigate that attack, on the Creeds,
perhaps at this point he's starting to regret it.
[Vic] We've brought up that Imperium may not prepared for MSK,
but both these teams do know each other quite well.
[Wade] Of course. Listen, they all study each other in this division.
[Vic] Cover, cover, cover. Titles on the line.
Not able to retain yet. Wes Lee still fighting.
[Wade] Both teams have held gold, certainly in the past or currently,
that's the teams you wanna study. The best of the best.
Learn from them, figure out their weaknesses,
if you get in the ring with them,
exploit those weaknesses and that is what MSK are attempting to do.
Let me tell you this, there aren't many weaknesses of Fabian Aichner.
[Vic] Right now they're trying to find a weaknesses as MSK…
Carter, into the cover. Hook to the leg.
Another near-fall, another kick out from Fabian Aichner.
[Wade] The biggest strength of MSK is their unpredictability of the angles
at which they can attack you, whereas Fabian Aichner, pure power.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, sweet offense as backslide, shoulders down.
Aichner with a roll through.
Again MSK, staying right on top of Imperium.
[audience chanting]
[Vic] There's more of that power on display from Fabian Aichner.
Aichner making the tag, back in comes Barthel.
We know somewhere the Ring General is watching very closely.
[Wade] Yes, he demands perfection from his troops
and that's what they're giving right now.
Nash Carter getting a nasty [inaudible] Fabian Aichner.
What a bulldog of a human being he is.
[Vic] Barthel talking a little bit of trash.
MSK, as we've mentioned, having this opportunity here tonight,
trying to make the most of it.
That knee just buckled the knees of Barthel.
Barthel could be out. Carter not able to capitalize.
Wes Lee realizing, this is the golden moment for MSK.
[Wade] If he can tag in Wes Lee here we have a game-changer,
but the strength of Barthel, just too much.
[Vic] Fabian Aichner just got taken out, and finally tag was made.
[Wade] Slippery little devils are MSK.
Now they have to make it count against the tag champions.
Gold on the line here.
[Vic] Combination offense connecting from Wes Lee.
Oh, and Lee is focused.
Lee is primed and he's MSK-primed
for their second reign as Tag Team Champions here at NXT.
Looking to fly with a moonsault!
Barthel, rolling to the outside.
[Wade] Supreme aerial assault from MSK. This is what they do best.
This is what nobody has ever found a solution to.
[Vic] Gets caught, gets planted with a back breaker.
Ridiculous explosive power from the big Italian.
-[bell rings] -[Vic] Julius, Brutus.
-The Creed Brothers are here. -[Wade] This match is over.
[audience chants] "Creed."
[Vic] They're disseminating everyone in their path.
[Wade] They must be livid right now.
[Vic] Oh. Oh.
[Wade] Utter chaos and bedlam in the ring at the hands of the 50% healthy Creeds.
[Vic] Referee rang for the bell. Disqualification.
Creed Brothers, though, are angry.
[audience chants] "Creed."
[audience cheering]
Draco, wait. Draco, whoa, whoa, whoa. Draco, we come in peace.
[audience booing]
It's okay, it's us. You can let your guard down.
We didn't mean to interrupt your workout. I know you've contemplated this.
Open yourself up and allow others into your life.
[Xyon] Hey, Gacy.
Draco is his own man.
Don't listen to these guys, they're just trying to get into your head.
You live your own life.
Mr. Quinn, I want Draco to live his own life,
as opposed to living a lie.
We'll give you more time to think about this.
We'll be waiting.
-Yo, thanks, Xyon. -Anytime.

You think you got WrestleMania weekend all figured out
but old DZ is about to screw it all up.
Now, hit my music, the good one.
-["Here to Show the World" playing] -[audience cheering]
[Vic] It is main rvent time at NXT Roadblock.
[Wade] Oh, man, one of the absolute best in the business over the past 15 years.
Dolph Ziggler is gonna light up this arena tonight.
We are the blessed ones to get to watch this man work his magic.
Main event coming up next.
["Survival of the Fittest" playing]
♪ This is my time ♪
[in Spanish]
I started my career 10 years ago.
Nobody knew who I was, I was the anonymous kid,
but I worked hard to get signed by NXT UK.
There, I competed against some of the best talent in the world.
I made my own way to become the first-ever heritage cup champion.
That brings me to now.
I am coming to NXT 2.0.
I cannot wait to test myself against some of the best talents there
and show them what A-Kid is all about.
[speaking Japanese]
A-Kid is awesome.
I'm very excited he's coming to NXT.
[speaking Japanese]
He's good.
A-Kid is one of the best in-ring performers in the world.
Okay, he's good.
You think you're better?
I'm better than good.
[gasping]
I'm so excited!
[Wade] I'll tell you what, that A-Kid is fantastic.
Can't wait till he gets into NXT.
[Vic] Next week, I can't wait for the first
North American Championship qualifier match.
Two superstars with gold on their mind,
who will earn their opportunity to go to Stand & Deliver?
[Wade] Not only that because Duke Hudson has stirred the pot and because of that,
best friends are now colliding.
It's gonna be Indie Hartwell
versus Persia Pirotta right here next week.
-I cannot wait to see that one. -I can't wait for our main event,
Dolph Ziggler already is ready and prepared.
Could he be the NXT Champion? We have three superstars tonight,
only one will carry that title to NXT Stand & Deliver.
Remember, tickets on sale this Friday.
-Hey, Wade, are you ready? -Yes, Vic.
-["Fight To Survive" playing] -[audience cheering]
♪ Fight to Survive ♪
[Vic] Or could it be Tommaso Ciampa carrying the flag of NXT one more time,
for the third time, as NXT Champion?
[Wade] Right here we have got a man who bleeds NXT.
I've had conversations with Tommaso Ciampa,
it doesn't matter to him if it's a Monday night,
a Tuesday night, a Friday night, Stand & Deliver,
Wrestle Mania, whatever.
Tommaso Ciampa always wants to represent this brand
and he wants to carry this title, the NXT title,
to the biggest stage it has ever been represented on at NXT Stand & Deliver,
WrestleMania weekend in Dallas Texas.
[Vic] Look, this is Triple Threat rules. No disqualification, no count out,
and Bron Breakker does not need to be factored in the decision
to lose his NXT Championship.
It was Breakker who was victorious 24 hours ago
during his Monday Night Raw debut.
However, it's a different playing field tonight, man.
-Different playing field. -[Wade] Hats off for Bron Breakker.
Your debut on Raw is one of the biggest moments
any superstar is ever going to experience.
To get a victory there was absolutely massive.
You're right, the veteran Dolph Ziggler,
playing mind games immediately in the aftermath of that match.
I'll quote him, "Don't think Tommaso Ciampa
won't stab you in the back at NXT."
He's absolutely right. Bron this evening now finds himself
with no friends, he is completely on his own.
It is every man for himself.
And the gold, the big one, the NXT Championship is on the line.
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following Triple Threat Match,
scheduled for one fall,
is for the NXT Championship!
[audience cheering]
Introducing the challengers, first,
Dolph Ziggler!
[audience cheering]
[Alicia] Next, Tommaso Ciampa!
[audience cheering]
[Alicia] Then, their opponent, he is the NXT Champion,
-Bron Breakker! -[audience cheering and booing]
[Vic] Take a look at the field of play, the world has been questioning,
what happens if Dolph Ziggler wins, takes the NXT title to Raw?
[Wade] Oh, man. Does that work as a swap deal?
Do we get a Raw champion here in NXT to replace him?
Does that mean the North American champ Carmelo Hayes
-truly becomes the A-Champ of NXT? -[bell ringing]
A lot of questions. I personally cannot answer any of them right now.
[Vic] You see there's a feeling out process early on in this matchup.
-What I do want to ask is… -[Wade] That is smart.
Dolph Ziggler, wily veteran, roll-out,
let Ciampa and Bron Breakker tear each other apart.
-[Vic] Wait… Ooh! -[Wade] Stabbed in the back.
[Vic] As soon as Breakker turned his back, Ciampa into the cover,
and Ziggler breaking things up again.
Triple Threat rules. No count out, no disqualification.
Look, we've seen it early on.
Is Bron Breakker going to be the underdog in this championship matchup?
[Wade] He has to be. He's already been tricked by Ziggler,
he's been tricked by Tommaso Ciampa.
For all his brilliance, for all his explosive power,
for all his physical attributes he is inexperienced.
He's had probably 25 matches at this point.
There is a weakness there with Bron Breakker,
and both Ciampa and Dolph Ziggler know exactly how to exploit it.
[Vic] Oh, and Ciampa has taken advantage of Breakker's inexperience in the past.
Right now it's Ciampa taking it right to Breakker.
Swings and misses. Look at Tommaso Ciampa.
Ciampa wants that NXT title for the third time.
Oh. Spine buster right on the spine of Ziggler.
Now Breakker, turning things around.
It's crazy to hear you say Breakker's the underdog.
How often do we truly, truly say that about a champion?
[Wade] Let's face it, it almost never happens.
There's a reason the guy's a champion, it's because he's the best.
[Vic] Wait a minute, no way. How strong his Bron Breakker?
[Wade] Raw power. Just shows the crazy rise of Bron Breakker.
What's he had in his career? Was it 25?
-[Vic] I think it's [inaudible]. -[Wade] Something like that.
He's taking on two former champ tonight, though, who have got it all,
as we take another look at the power of Bron Breakker.
He won his debut on Raw last night, but we've seen in the past,
Bron Breakker is capable of slip-ups in matches in the big moments.
If he slips up tonight,
he's gonna lose his NXT Championship, that's guaranteed.
[Vic] What I'm hearing from you is, you think the champion has bitten off
more than he can chew here tonight.
[Wade] He got goaded into this matchup by a wise Dolph Ziggler last week.
Let's face it, Bron Breakker is a hot head.
He showed it by himself in this position.
Looking for the Fairy Tale Ending. Countered.
Ziggler rolls. Championship on the line. Kick out by Ciampa.
Right back up, Ziggler swings, misses.
Now, Ciampa trying to take advantage. Oh, Ciampa got all that right hand.
[Wade] These two are duking it out in the ring,
let's not forget Bron Breakker
doesn't have to pin or be submitted to lose his championship tonight.
That's why, as a champ, you want to avoid these matches at all costs.
Bron Breakker got suckered into it.
[Vic] That's what you're going back to from Dolph Ziggler goading,
baiting, Breakker into this matchup.
[Wade] Dolph Ziggler, he's been at the absolute top for 15-plus years.
World Champ, Intercontinental Champ, US Champ, Tag Champ,
Mr. Money in the Bank, main event and premium live events.
One of the absolute best of this generation
and a guaranteed future Hall of Famer.
[Vic] Oh! Well, none of that helping Ziggler or Breakker out,
because the one who's standing tall, Tommaso Ciampa, the pulse of NXT.
[Wade] The man who helped build NXT into what it is today,
and you know he wants that NXT Championship
for a third time in the worst way.
[audience chanting] "Ciampa's gonna kill you."
[Vic] The NXT universe showing their love for Tommaso Ciampa,
who right now is saying at this point in his career, is fighting to survive.
[audience chanting]
Ciampa… I was gonna say, unstoppable… Oh!
[Wade] Got a knee to the back of the neck on the landing.
Wily veteran, Dolph Ziggler, celebrate too soon.
[Vic] Show off, taking his eyes off the ball.
Don't miss a second of the action in our picture-picture break.
[Vic] NXT Roadblock.
This our main event for the NXT Championship.
As you saw, throughout the commercial break,
these three superstars have learned so much about one another
over the last several weeks, which has brought us here tonight.
And who will get through this Roadblock,
who is headed to Stand & Deliver as NXT Champion?
Ziggler goes for the ride.
[Wade] These three superstars tearing each other to shreds
throughout the commercial break,
but coming through it perhaps better than anyone is the young champ, the young pup.
Bron Breakker taking full control of this matchup.
[Vic] Now it's Breakker looking to recline back on Tommaso Ciampa
the way Breakker won the NXT Championship.
Breakker, is he gonna get Tommaso Ciampa to submit?
Spine snapping torture
etched all over the face of Ciampa, but of course…
[Vic] Ziggler, but Breakker's not releasing the hold.
Ziggler, trying to wear down the champion.
Breakker's starting to fade. Ciampa, able to survive.
Now it's Bron Breakker with Ziggler on his back.
[Wade] Dolph Ziggler, saving his own bacon there, of course.
Tap out by Ciampa means Ziggler loses too,
but he's apparently got Bron Breakker right where he wants.
He's putting him to sleep.
[Vic] Oh, wow. Bron Breakker, surviving here tonight.
NXT Roadblock live on USA, our main event,
Triple Threat Match for the NXT Championship.
The champion, Bron Breakker,
does not need to be factored in the decision to lose his championship.
Who gets through the Roadblock?
Who represents this brand on the biggest week of the year,
WrestleMania Saturday at NXT Stand & Deliver?
[Wade] All three men down, this match truly up for grabs now.
Who wants it in the worst way?
Who has the most left in the tank at this late stage in proceedings?
[Vic] I take a look at Bron Breakker.
He talked about it earlier tonight, all the pain, all the hard work,
such a humble champion who respects those who came before him.
Can he stand and deliver here tonight?
[audience chanting] "Let's go, Ziggler."
-[audience chanting] "Let's go, Ciampa." -[Vic] Just listen to the NXT universe,
who certainly have been a rowdy bunch all night long.
[Wade] Audience completely split in this one,
favorites everywhere you look.
All three men know how to dig deep beyond human nature,
and they're gonna have to pull through in this one.
[Vic] One right hand from Breakker dropped Ciampa.
He's now with Ziggler, starting to fire back.
Ziggler, who's been in these big match situations before, as has Tommaso Ciampa.
[inaudible] as Breakker [inaudible].
From behind goes Ziggler, do we have a new champion?
Oh, just able to kick out. Famouser connects.
-[Wade] Bouncing straight back up. -[Vic] Zig Zag!
-[Wade] This is it, we got a new champ! -[Vic] Into the cover for Dolph Ziggler!
No, no, no! Whoa.
[Wade] Where on earth did Tommaso Ciampa
find the wherewithal to kick out of that onslaught?
[audience chanting]
[Vic] You talk about as close as it gets from Monday Night Raw's Dolph Ziggler,
that's exactly what I would call as close as it gets without ringing the bell.
[Wade] I've gotta tell you, I've taken that Zig Zag before,
there's no chance I could ever get up from that.
Hats off to Tommaso Ciampa. Somehow this match is continuing.
[Vic] Oh, Breakker. Oh!
Saved his title for at least a moment.
Dropped with a DDT, but look who's standing.
Ciampa, picking his spot.
[Wade] Physical specimen, shape of his life,
and that is really saying something.
[Vic] Oh! Into the cover goes Ciampa.
Three-time champion. No, no, no, no, no.
Ziggler just able to kick out.
[Wade] You see Bron Breakker on the outside gathering his thoughts,
trying to get that third or fourth win that he's looking for.
At this point keeping a close eye on the two competitors, ready to pounce.
-[Vic] For a moment. -[Wade] This one's in jeopardy.
[Vic] For a moment, Breakker had Ciampa in his sights,
it looked like Breakker's legs gave out.
You gotta think, for Breakker, at this juncture in the matchup,
how tired he could be!
Fairy Tale Ending, denied by Breakker.
[Wade] Hits him with that spear
that has been so effective in the young career of Bron Breakker.
[Vic] Breakker, again.
If you talk about unloading the heavy artillery, that is what Ziggler is doing.
[Wade] Went for that Zig Zag.
[Vic] Breakker, trying to break Ziggler!
Don't think about it, do it.
[audience cheering]
The biggest moment.
The biggest stage in Dallas,
will it have Bron Breakker's names in lights?
Powerslam, cover, count…
What?
[audience cheering]
Robert Roode?
[Wade] The Dirty Dawgs falling back on old habits.
[Vic] Breakker taking out…
Oh, can you talk about tricks up your sleeve for Dolph Ziggler.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. This matchup continuing, Willow's Bell.
[Wade] Breakker's getting screwed here.
[Vic] Ciampa now, looking to continue his Fairy Tale!
Ziggler, oh, no!
-[Vic] Cover, count! -One, two…
-[Vic] Breakker kicks out! -[Wade] Hell no!
[Vic] Look at Ciampa, quickly trying to capitalize.
[Wade] Good luck calling this one now.
[Vic] Breakker now, looking for the knockout blow!
Roode, super kick!
Into the cover goes Ziggler!
One, two, three!

but did we think it would ever come to fruition?
Not like that.
